I know it's been roughly covered. But is anyone using both growth and bloom lights for veg ? I can't decide. I find there is a little more stretch with both on. But with just growth on the speed of growth isn't fast at all. Might try with both on with lights closer ? Ti illuminate stretch

Well I run both bloom and growth lights nOw.
a tiny bit more heat but they grow at a faster rate. I lowered the lights to around 18 inches and they love it.

Also added a fluval fish filter to the 200L res and the soup looks alot cleaner and the plants are loving it. No carbon in the fish filter is the key.

So, there we are, my first post..
I am new to the busines, newer grown a strain, still dont know if i want..
Interested in the LED panels, i have read all posts in this tread, it was a pleasure.. tnx guys.. i checked out a lot of lamps, and learning about them during the discussion like this one..
The price for the MH is ok, so i tought, lets buy one and grow sommething, it seams to me that LEDs improved so give them a test.
So, how much room i can aford, the result was for a 4x4x6,5ft
to get the optimum light and stay in a decent draw wattage MH II 700/900 i tought, because of your good results here, that should be perfect for me.
So i contact the girl from MH and then the shock, they seem not to have any clue what/how/how much ect. .. the only thing they can think of is the wattage of the lamp.. they are on the market for years and such bad knowlage?

I realy wanted to buy a MH.. disapointed now.. Some expirience from you led growers?

Tnx :evil::bigjoint:

I've found personally that my 4x4 with a 600w led is good for the Centre Plants. I don't like the spread much as the outside plants not directly under it suffer . 4x4 tent I may add another led as they do work if right over the tomatoes

hi y'all

today i received my Mars Hydro LED growlight. I have raised my Fem seeds with 2x300w CFLs but felt it lacked power and penetration when it came to veg. I already tried the cfls with 2 x Lemon ice seeds i had and they haven't grown well into veg so decided i needed another LED.

I went for the Mars Hydro because the price of Budmaster II lights (that i flower with) are ridiculous (even though they are phenomenal)

As there is little info available on these specific units i decided to have a punt. Also they have U.S stock which was a bonus.

I am growing 3 strains, all from Amsterdam. I planted them on 24/6/2014 except Incredible Bulk which was planted 4 days later

3x Bulldog Chronic THC - 20% 650gm/m2
3x Pineapple Chunk THC - 25% 650gm/m2
1x incredible Bulk THC - 24% 1000gm/m2 <yes, that's what the breeder claims

I am planning on foliar feeding the "runts" as the experimental feed i have claims it will force the runts to catch up to the bigger plants (i doubt it)

light specs :

  • Reflector design 100% LED lumen output to plants
  • Glass free design. Glass and extra lenses can diminish lumen output by as much as 20 percent! Our design provides more light for your plants.
  • Growth/Bloom switches, Save more power and more efficiency.
  • Spectrum: 430~440nm, 450~475nm, 620~630nm, 650~670nm, White, Real Infrared spectrum: 730nm
  • LEDs: 192*3WLEDs
  • Dimension: 22*19*2inches
  • Lumen: 29200lumens
  • Coverage: 4*4ft( Veg), 3.5*3.5ft(Flowering)
  • Output power: 600Watt
  • Power consumption: 110V: 370W-384W/220V: 350W-364W
  • Amp: 2.44A/110V, 1.22A/220V
  • Worldwide Voltage Capable: AC85~265V
  • View Angle of LEDs: 90/120° Mixed
  • Lifespan: 50000-100000hours
Light will be kept at 2ft above plants unless stretching appears then it will be alter accordingly

Nutrients :

Magne-cal+ by plant magic 1ml/L
Bio Green Grow 1 1ml/L
Experimental foliar spray 3xpw


Water:

Tap water PH'd to 5.8
Currently hand watered but will be switching to gravity fed drip feed ASAP

Medium :

Amsterdam Gold Label COCO

Temp:

24c - 27c

RH :

50% - 60%

if ive forgotten to mention anything i'll add it later.

heres some Pics to get started
View attachment 3214895 View attachment 3214896 View attachment 3214897 View attachment 3214899 View attachment 3214900


ignore the plants on the right, they are for cloning then the best two will be added to the grow later. I plan to add a gravity fed drip feed system so ill add pics of that next.

ill post new pics and updates as i go, feel free to add any comments or ideas.

How are these compared to say a 600 watt MH/HPS I just bought 2 600w setups with vented hoods and both bulbs for about 350.00 What are the pros and cons?

600w MHLED In a 1m2 room. Scrog grown should produce around 700-1000g if grown correctly. If Temp/RH/ventilation/PH all in the correct range all the way through the grow 4 weeks veg 9 weeks flower from clone. But longer from seed

Any advice it's a thick bush. No trimming done I have buds down to the stem and all the way up. Under the canapé is still all white hairs but super velvety. Going on 13weeks. No Carmel trichs yet.

One of the big colas snapped. I think it was almost or ready. Will the now exposed plants burn? Should I harvest the whole plant?

Just switched two g13haze plants from veg to bloom tent and upgraded to 5gal bkt and 70% mutes. Leaves look like they're wilting and drying out at the same time. We're bright green switching to a dark green and patches of light flat green. 2x600w Mh(1st) & 120w MH(3rd) on bloom. 60x48x36?
